The mission of the Internal Revenue Service is to assist America's taxpayers in understanding and meeting their tax obligations and to apply the nation's tax law with integrity and fairness to all. IRS processes over 200 million returns each year and collects over $2.5 trillion in revenue.
To fulfill this Mission, IRS makes it a goal to have a workforce that accurately reflects the broad diversity of the entire United States, and thus they are actively seeking people of all ages and backgrounds for their employment opportunities. Backgrounds sought for their professional positions include accounting, business, customer service, information technology, and many more. The IRS also hires thousands of people each year for temporary/seasonal jobs during the tax filing season (primarily January through May of each year).
Employee benefits associated with federal employment are comprehensive. Perhaps most appealing for 50+ workers are the generous health and life insurance plans, and the retirement plan that allows new employees to roll-over qualifying IRA's into the government-wide Thrift Savings Plan (TSP).
In addition, the IRS has comprehensive in-house training programs and has a commitment to helping employees maintain a healthy balance between their work and personal lives.
